INTERDISCIPLINARY FELLOWSHIPS IN VIOLENCE RESEARCH

This Interdisciplinary Violence Research fellows program at the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing offers an exceptional opportunity for students interested in the causes, effects and prevention of violence

The fellowships are part of a continuing ten year (T32-MH20014) grant from the
National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR). The goal of the program is to train nursing, public health and medical scholars to address the prevention and identification of violence and its physical and mental health effects.

The fellows will be educated in:

family and community violence

social, ethnic and cultural influences on acts of violence and outcome

ethical issues in the conduct of violence related research

multiple approaches to violence related research

the research base for policy and advocacy initiatives

securing external funding for violence related research

physical and mental health effects of violence

The fellowships include clinical and research experiences in violence,
including optional foci:

HIV/ Violence Interface
Substance Abuse / Violence Interface
International Violence

The grant supports two predoctoral fellowships in Nursing and two in Public Health each year as well as a predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowship in the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, or the Bloomberg School of Public Health. The predoctoral fellowships include full tuition plus the NIH standard pre or postdoctoral stipend.*

The fellowships are for full time study during the academic year and include working as a research assistant approximately 20 hours per week on a violence related research project.

A violence research seminar is jointly taught by the entire interdisciplinary faculty (Schools of Medicine, Nursing and the Bloomberg School of Public Health).

Application for predoctoral students is through the School of Nursing for Nursing students, and the School of Public Health for Public Health students (with a cover letter indicating you are interested in the Violence Research predoctoral fellowship). The goal statement for the application should include the student‘s focus area of violence related research. Post Doctoral Applicants should submit a goal statement, CV, doctoral program transcript and two letters of recommendation.
